CATALYST GAME LABS TO OFFER PDFS THROUGH PARTICIPATING RETAILERS

Lake Stevens WA â€“ Catalyst Game Labs is offering retailers the ability to sell PDF and other downloads to their customers beginning this summer. Retailers will be able to register with the Catalyst Game Labs Retail Support website, giving them access to electronic sales, listing in the upcoming retailer locator, and other special services.

â€œThe technology exists to offer this service to retailers,â€ says David Stansel-Garner, Operations Manager for Catalyst Game Labs, â€œand Catalyst Game Labs feels that the investment in technology to implement this new system is an investment well made.â€

Retailers will be able to offer PDFs to their customers using nothing more than a standard internet connection. In addition, retailers can choose to participate in the pre-order “Print + PDF bundles” — getting access to sell electronic files at the exact same time Catalyst puts them on sale.

Figuring out a way for the LGS to adapt to the changing tech and demand for .pdf sales was a sincere challenge. Seeing a company like Catalyst lead the charge to help that transition is encouraging and is definitely applauded over here at our store. Looking forward to being a part of it.

Nice to see you guys do not believe that “every PDF purchased legitimately yields 10 pirated copies” like a certain OTHER company does. I hope the set up for this will be easy, so I can talk to my FLGS and explain how it can make them money!

Now, just need for CGL to make nice little readers in glasses that can pick up the books from the FLGS wirelessly, as well as tell us how many bullets remain in our clips ;)

Our PDFs already are priced lower than the printed books. We have no plans to further lower those prices. You can save the most by getting the Pre-Order + PDF combos … and we’ll soon be offering those through participating retailers, too.

At GTS, Three Sages Games spoke with Dave about this new opportunity and we are very excited about Catalyst new PDF delivery system. So much so we have all ready allocated resources toward developing a new line specifically for their system.
